Hosea 5
1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
“Winjuru ma, un jodolo! Chikuru itu, un jo-Israel! Winjuru, yaye jood ruoth! Kumni obironu: Usebedo obadho e Mizpa, gogo mopedhi ewi Tabor.
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
Joma ongʼanyo ni e tho malich. Abiro kumogi giduto.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
Angʼeyo gik moko duto kuom Efraim; onge gima opondona kuom jo-Israel. Efraim, un to usedoko kaka ochot; to jo-Israel timo timbe modwanyore.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
“Timbegi omonogi duogo ir Nyasachgi. Tim marach mar chode ni e chunygi; ok giyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
Sungruok mar jo-Israel nyiso rachgi; jo-Israel kaachiel gi Efraim podho e richogi; kendo jo-Juda bende podho kodgi.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
Ka gidhi gi kweth dhogi kaachiel gi chiachgi mondo gitim misengni ni Jehova Nyasaye, to ok giniyude nikech osewuok moa kuomgi.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
Gisebedo joma ok jo-adiera ni Jehova Nyasaye; ginywolo nyithindo ma kimirwa. Sewni ma gitimo ka dwe owuok biro tiekogi kaachiel gi puothegi.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
“Gouru turumbete e dala mar Gibea, gouru abu e dala mar Rama. Gouru nduru mar lweny e dala mar Beth Aven; yaye, jo-Benjamin teluru.
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Efraim biro bet gunda ka chiengʼ makumogie ochopo. Alando gima nyaka timre e kind dhout Israel.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
Jotend Juda chalo gi joma ochoro kite man e kiewo. Abiro olo mirimba kuomgi mana ka pi oula.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
Jo-Efraim ibiro toyo ka bura oloyogi, nikech giketo chunygi mar luwo nyiseche manono.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Achalo gi oguyo ne jo-Efraim, achalo gima otop ne jo-Juda.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
“Ka Efraim noneno tuone, kendo Juda oneno adhondene, eka Efraim nodwaro kony kuom Asuria, kendo gikwayo kony ir ruoth maduongʼ. To ok onyal thiedhou, ok onyal thiedho adhondeu.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
Abiro bedo ka sibuor ni Efraim, kaka sibuor malich ni Juda. Abiro kidhogi matindo tindo bangʼe to abiro weyogi. Anatingʼ-gi matergi mabor, maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
Bangʼe to anadog kar dakna, nyaka chop kinde maginiyie ni giseketho. Giniduog ira ka gidwara gi chunygi duto nikech thagruok malit magiseyudo.”
